With good defense and steals, the Bluebirds expanded their lead to 51-8 at half. In the third quarter, Hiebert connected on 2 three-pointers, and Hannon drained 4 triples from the same spot on the floor.

The Bluebirds led 76-11 at the end of three quarters. With a running clock and the starters on the bench for the fourth quarter, Goessel coasted to an 84-13 victory.

Eden Hiebert led all scorers with 27, following up on a season-high 30 she scored three nights earlier in a 66-28 victory over Herington.

The Bluebirds were in danger of finishing in last place in the league after scoring only two points in the last five minutes three days earlier to go from a one-point lead to a nine-point loss, 38-29, against Herington
